Chapter 2: The Invitation

"Let it rip!" The Granger twins released their beyblades at the same time onto the dirt ground. At once, their 'blades rammed eachother.

"Well, well. Someone's been practicing." Tyson said. Tysa smirked.

"You haven't seen anything yet. Kairi, attack!" Within a blink of an eye the beyblade vanished.

"Where'd it go?" Hilary asked.

"Tysa's beyblade was made for speed. Tyson, watch out!" Kenny told his friend.

"If you think a little speed's gonna impress me, you're wrong. Dragooooon!" Tyson yelled. A blue light emerged from the 'blade and Tyson's Dragoon appeared.

"Whew, what a beast." Tysa whistled, "It seems as powerful as Dranzer."

"Now, Dragoon! Phantom Hurricane!" Tyson's 'blade summoned a powerful wind around the whole area.

"All right, Kairi. Chaos End!" Tysa's 'blade suddenly became visible and formed another storm which charged right towards the wind. Then there was a flash of light and both 'blades stopped spinning soon after.

"What….a battle…." Kenny stuttered.

"I could feel that wind from a mile!" Hilary declared. The twins picked up their beyblades.

"Wow, sis." Tyson stared the Dragoon, then his sister. "Is that how your battle with Kai went?"

"More or less." Tysa shrugged. "I wanna fight the rest of the Bladebreakers though. Are they comin' here anytime?"

"Not that I know of…"Tyson answered.

"Oh well." Tysa looked at her beyblade. Hilary looked over her shoulder.

"Wow. Your beyblade has white wings in the center, Tysa." Hilary observed.

"Yep. That's what makes it special." Tysa put her 'blade in her pocket, picked up a rock, and tossed it inside the house.

"Ow!" Grandpa came out from behind the corner. "Why'd you do that, Ty-huh?" Grandpa looked from Tyson to Tysa. "Tysa!" Grandpa went towards Tysa. "Last time I seen ya you were kickin' the wheels of a truck! How's was your training, little dude?" Tysa shrugged again.

"It was ok. I came back because I beat the rest of the students, who were mostly guys. I was bored. And the boys started to get scared of me." Tysa winked at her brother.

"Hey, shouldn't we read that letter now?" Kenny asked.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." Tyson took the letter from Kenny and opened it.

Dear Tyson,

I thought you should know that I decided to throw another tornament. I invited the rest of the Bladebreakers too. Don't forget that any new member is welcome! Please come to the BBA office tomorrow.

From,

Mr. Dickenson

BBA

"Hey, cool! That means you can join, Tysa!" Tyson conformed.

"Does that mean I'll meet everyone?" Tysa asked. Kenny sat up.

"Tysa, can I see your beyblade?" Tysa took the 'blade out of her pocket. Kenny examined it.

"Your beyblade's really light, Tysa," he said. "It's really unique, too. I don't think I seen a beyblade like this…." He started to take apart the beyblade.

"Don't do that!" Tysa snatched away the 'blade from Kenny's hands. "Don't touch my Kairi!" With that Tysa ran into the house.

"What's her problem?" Hilary asked. "Tyson?" Tyson gave a shrug like his sister's.

"Don't think I should tell you guys." He said. "Just give her a second." A short while passed. Then Tysa came out.

"Uh….sorry about that, Kenny." She started. "It's just that, this beyblade's unique because it's a mix of Japanese and Chinese cultures."

"What does that mean?" Hilary asked.

"It means that it gives you somethin' to look forward to." Tysa smirked.

The next day, Tyson and Tysa arrived at the the BBA building.

"Wow, this place is huge." Tysa admitted.

"Come on, sis, let's go. I bet everyone's waitin'!"

"Hey, Tyson," Max greeted them when they arrived inside. "We were-what?" Max looked from Tyson to Tysa. "Why are there….two of you?"

"I'm Tysa Granger." Tysa announced. "His twin sister. You must be Max Tate, right?"

"That's right!" Max said proudly.

"Tyson never mentioned to us that he had a sister." Ray approached the group. "I'm Ray Kong." He held his hand out and Tysa shook it.

"So, Tysa, are you any good at beyblading?" Ray continued.

"You bet I am!" Tysa smirked. "Wanna see?" Then Tysa noticed Kai standing in a corner of the room. "Or you can ask him or brother. I tied with both of them." Kai sent a confused glance at Tysa. Last time he check she creamed him. Badly. Wait a minute….

"Hey, Tysa, are you thinking of joining the Bladebreakers?" Max asked enthusiastically.

"What!" Kai asked. Everyone stared at the now glaring Kai.

"What's the problem, Kai? You know she's good." Ray pointed out.

"Yeah. What's the deal?" Tyson asked.

"Hmph." Kai sunk back to his corner. They would find out on their own. Eventually. With that thought, Kai walked out the room.

"Is he always like that?" Tysa asked innocently.

"Nah. Usually he doesn't say anything." Tyson told her. Tysa started to walk out the room. "Where ya goin', sis?"

"To get Kai. He's gonna miss what Mr. D's gonna say." With that she walked out the room as well.

"Hey, Tyson," Max asked, "How come you never told us you had a sister?" Tyson shrugged.

"Well, you never asked." Tyson answered. "And she wanted to be a surprise."

"……" Ray stared at the doorway. There was something familiar about Tysa. Not the fact that she looked like Tyson, but something else that was on the tip on his tounge.

"Is that her real name? Tysa?" Ray asked.

"Well, of course it's her real name." Tyson stated. "Somethin' the matter, Ray?"

"No…." Ray shook his head. "It's nothing."
